CIG declared a force majeure condition Friday at its Elk Basin Compressor Station located on the Wind River Lateral in Park County, WY. A compressor engine had to be taken out of service for repairs. CIG estimates that the outage will last at least 30 days. It anticipates being able to flow 47,000 Dth/d through the station, but said any impact to service will depend on any given day’s nominations.

NOVA will begin performing up to four days of inspection and maintenance activities Thursday on the 12-inch Flat Lake Lateral. FT and IT service may be interrupted, curtailed or reduced during this period at 10 meter stations in the area.

El Paso said maintenance on Window Rock Station’s 7A compressor will continue through Feb. 26, and because of that, work on the Leupp 11A unit, previously scheduled for Feb. 25-28, will be postponed. Maintenance on the Leupp D turbine will be done as scheduled Feb. 26-27. The net result will be reductions of North Mainline capacity of 30 MMcf/d now through Feb. 25, 100 MMcf/d on Feb. 26 and 65 MMcf/d on Feb. 27.
